Texas entered with a four-game lead in the AL West over Oakland and lost for just the fifth time in 16 games.

Gomez worked 52/3 innings. Joe Smith, Esmil Rogers and Vinnie Pestano finished. Pestano allowed two hits over 11/3 innings for his first save.

Pestano has been Chris Perez’s setup man for two years, but Cleveland’s All-Star closer never warmed up.

■ Yankees 4, Orioles 3

NEW YORK — Shortstop J.J. Hardy’s bases-loaded error let New York complete a seventh-inning comeback and the Yankees stung the Baltimore Orioles to restore their AL East lead to three games.

Shut down all afternoon, the struggling Yankees rallied for three runs in the seventh against a suddenly shaky Baltimore bullpen.

■ Rays 5, Blue Jays 4

TORONTO — Matt Joyce homered and had three RBIs, Ryan Roberts also connected and Tampa Bay beat the Blue Jays.

For the second straight day, the game ended with the potential tying run thrown out at home plate. This time, Colby Rasmus singled to center off Fernando Rodney, but catcher Jose Molina hauled in a high throw from B.J. Upton and blocked Omar Vizquel’s path to the plate, tagging him out to end it.

■ Angels 5, Mariners 2

SEATTLE — Mark Trumbo hit a two-run single in the eighth inning that helped hand Felix Hernandez his first loss in nearly three-months, and the Angels beat the Mariners.

Hernandez (13-6) lost for the first time since June 12. He entered this outing 9-0 with a 1.40 ERA over his previous 14 starts, including a perfect game.

■ Twins 3, Royals 1, game 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Justin Morneau drove in two runs and Minnesota rookie Cole De Vries beat the Royals again in the first game of a doubleheader.

De Vries (4-5) has four career victories and three of them are against the Royals. He limited the Royals to one run on seven hits, walked none and struck out three over 62/3 innings.

■ Tigers 5, White Sox 1

DETROIT — Max Scherzer allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings, and the Detroit Tigers pulled within a game of first place with a victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Detroit has taken the first two games of this series from the AL Central-leading White Sox.
